Group Kakadu Trip

Posted on by

Awesome three day Kakadu trip.

Rowen, Claire and I went down and saw Nourlangie the first night, did some stargazing at Mardugal, before meeting up with the others the next day.

The next day we went to Gubara for a swim and a bushwalk, and onto Ubirr for sunset.

On the last day we had a sunrise cruise and fishing trip at Yellow Water, Chops managed to get an undersized barra, saw some big crocs and Jabiru’s.

Got some really good photos there two, probably my two favourite from Kakadu were taken here. Both got touched up as I needed to remove Claire’s annoying date stamp! Taught myself photoshop for that single reason, otherwise they are totally untouched, so I hope you like them.

 

 

First ever Litchfield trip

Posted on by

Claire and I had only been in the NT for a few weeks, but we wanted to get out and see what there was. It was a dry wet season, but even then, most places were closed. We went down to Litchfield National Park to look at the waterfalls, way before I knew to look up access reports. But it all worked out, we got to swim in Florence Falls, and of course there were some great waterfalls.

Dugong Beach Trip

Posted on by

A good friend of mine was having a 30th, so they decided to do a camping trip at Dugong Beach on Whitsunday Island. It is home of the famous Whitehaven Beach, but it is a huge island, and one isn’t really accessible from the other. “Damn” I thought.

Well I turned out to be wrong. It was, and still is, the best place I have camped. The beaches were amazing, great sunset, fishing (I only managed a small bream, despite the all the effort), crabbing, a great bushwalk up to a lookout that could only seen to be believed.

Not trying to sound conceited but the photos taken are not photoshopped in anyway, taken on the “auto” setting of a Canon Powershot D10. It looked way better than they seem.

And the trip was great, great chat, lots of people, everyone just having a ball. How could you not? The place was paradise.
